Chevy sold 6,577 Camaros last month, partly by giving buyers an average of $3,409 in incentives to take the cars home. Ford, meanwhile, sold 6,429 Mustangs in September, while giving back just $2,602, according to Bloomberg News. Mustang still leads Camaro for total sales so far this year.

These sales prices are on leftover 2016 Camaros now that 2017 models are hitting dealers, but remember, the Camaro was all-new for 2016, so this remains the latest, most-up-to-date version of the car no matter what the model year says.
